my husband and I are on pins and needles waiting for the lung cat scan results
it does not look like the outcome will be good
we were keeping Trasie another night and I was too tired
she is almost 2 and full of energy and my daughter will not let her have a binki or a bottle
he thought I just did not want to keep her
I told him I hope you have something wrong with you and then you will know how I feel
I feel horrible about saying that and I am so sorry
people you live with sometimes do not have a clue
I love Trasie and love keeping her but I was so tired
now I feel like the bitch I am
I have been sad all day and then a member made me laugh - I was reading a post that a member wrote
had not laughed all day

It is easy to say things when you are tired and in pain.  Your husband knows you didn't mean it.  It is so hard to keep up a normal pace with this disease and then add worry on top of it--well, you are on overload.  Plus, you are missing school.    :grouphug;   


 Happy Anniversay!  August is a good month for anniversaries. Ours was the 20th.

It happens Twirl.  Maybe you can tell him that you are sorry in retrospect that you said that and explain how tired you felt at the time.  An apology doesn't always make things better, but it's always a good start in my book.  :cuddle;

Just tell him your sorry and didn't mean it. Then explain how tired you become taking care of a 2 year old. Even an average healthy person can
become tired when caring for a 2 year old, and you have kidney disease on top of it all.

I am sure your hubby knows you didn't mean it, Twirl.  We all get tired and cranky sometimes.  If he loves you half as much as we all do, I am sure he has already forgotten it.   :cuddle;

Feel better Twirl, say sorry and move on.  I'm sorry are two very frequent words at my house and I know I've said many things I've later regretted.  Hugs and smiles to you. :flower; :grouphug; :flower;

We all say things we shouldn't - just grab him and hug him and tell him "who's your favorite bitch?"
Just kidding, but these things happen. I hope you get past it & have a happy anniversary!  :bestwishes;

Happy Anniversary. My wife says alot of mean things and never apologizes, but I still forgive her. So i'm sure if you apologize he will forget about it.  Do aologize though because I can honestly remember things and even though I forgave and looked past it rationalizing it out without the apology, I really don't know if she meant the things she said. Good luck.  :grouphug;

Hey Lady.   Sometimes the mouth gets a hold of me and I blather away at hubby.  I agree with what Okarol said.  Who loves ya baby? is a good question to ask him. Apologize and give him a big hug.

Happy Anniversary to both of you and everyone gave you great advice especially the apologize part.  Do apologize and then let it go, give a hug and dance awhile.
Love you

Happy Anniversary first of all!!!!   :bandance;

I was just going to throw my   :twocents; in here.  I KNOW I have said MANY regretful (probably on here already) things and I am a BIG card person and I LOVE to leave cards where friends/family will later find them.  Why don't you run out or even make a card apologizing and leave it in a place where he will later find it?   I bet that will make you and him both feel a little better. Just a thought is all..........but like everyone else has said........he may have already forgotten about it.

Diagnosed with ESRD-November 2006
I have had 2 fistuals-neither one worked
I have had 2 grafts the last one finally "took"
I had 3 different catheters from Nov. 06 - Dec. 08

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.    I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!
